CONDITION REPORT & PHOTO GALLERY SLEEVE, INNERS & INSERT: The die-cut outer sleeve is a super example and grades as EX/EXCELLENT(+) with just a tiny bit of creasing + a light sticker removal 'shadow' to the rear. Both spines are close to perfect with all text still clearly legible. No damage at all to any of the 'windows'. Looks great.
The inner sleeves are both in super EX/EXCELLENT(+) condition with just a touch of very light creasing.
The insert is in EXCELLENT(+) condition with hardly any wear at all. Looks great.
VINYL (VISUAL): EXCELLENT; the vinyl looks great and has retained its shine. Just some superficial light scuff marks + wispy sleeve removal type marks noticeable. The records have clearly been well cared for over the years.
LABELS: The labels are all in MINT condition with no signs of use evident at all. Superb.
AUDIO: This has been completely play graded from start to finish at volume and all sides played through nicely without jumping or sticking. The clarity of the audio was bright and clear on the whole.
Disc 1 played EXCELLENT with just very occasional light crackle + a couple of pops.
Disc 2 played fine overall, but did attract some crackle and low level distortion in places (mainly during parts of side 3) especially during 'Down By The Seaside', so I will give this an overall VERY GOOD grade, though in places it does sound better. Very strange!

GRADING
Unless otherwise stated, all of my records have been play tested before listing using a Rega P3-24 turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge & stylus. I describe honestly and accurately but please bear in mind that I am only human and such things are always subjective. I tend to grade records conservatively and believe that my feedback speaks for itself.
Please take confidence from the fact that I have been a collector myself for over 20 years (please check my feedback as a buyer) and know only too well how disappointing it is to receive an inaccurately described record.
I also grade visually using a strong halogen lamp.
I use the Record Collector grading system as shown below.
I am more than happy, in most instances, to provide a play grade on a record listed as a visual grade only. If a buyer wishes to return a record based off a visual grade only, I cannot cover the cost of return postage unless I have missed an obvious flaw.
POSTAGE / SHIPPING
I post worldwide and pack all records in custom made (stiff) card mailers and add extra packaging inside to ensure a safe delivery. I will provide a protective polythene sleeve and the record and inner will be removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. I want your record to get to you in the condition that it was when it left me.
For any records that come with printed inner sleeves, I will also provide an additional plain inner.
As a general rule, shipping will be discounted ie. I lose money on the costs of buying my packaging. I do not profit from this; please remember that my costs are not simply those shown on the stamp!

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
